Unique Strengths Four unique strengths differentiate CentralWorld from other shopping centres: 1. Size: The largest shopping and lifestyle centre in Thailand with retail space of 550,000 square meters that is 30% larger than any other shopping centre in central Bangkok. 2.

  • Die Entwicklung Der Modeszene in Bangkok Seit Den Neunziger Jahren
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Saitama University Cyber Repository of Academic Resources Fȱውɨ ዄĞ༳ʧૡዅȱۀÏŹƂʧ͗ Die Entwicklung der Modeszene in Bangkok seit den neunziger Jahren Lars Bertramb Thailand ist seit Jahrzehnten ein wichtiger Textilproduzent im asiatischen Raum und konnte trotz wirtschaftlicher und politischer Krisen lange Zeit seine führende Position behaupten. Die zunehmende Konkurrenz durch andere Billiglohnländer wie China oder Vietnam zwingt die florierende Textilindustrie nun aber, neue Wege zu finden, um Thailand als Modezentrum in Südostasien zu etablieren. Die Untersuchung will herausstellen, ob Thailand die Voraussetzungen hat, um den Sprung vom exportorientierten Textilproduzenten zum eigenständig kreativen Modestandort in Asien zu schaffen. Dabei soll besonders herausgearbeitet werden, unter welchen Bedingungen sich die Modedesigner in Bangkok emanzipiert haben, welchen Einfluss die japanische Mode spielt und wie sich das Modebewusstsein der Thailänder gewandelt hat. Thailands modische Infrastruktur Eine kreative Modeszene braucht folgende Voraussetzungen, um zu überleben: eine funktionierende Textilindustrie, die sowohl das Material liefert als auch angehenden Designern die Möglichkeit bietet, ihre kreativen Fähigkeiten zu vertiefen; Designschulen, wo u. a. Designer der ersten Stunde ihr Wissen weitergeben und neben einer breiten, modisch interessierten Käuferschicht auch eine Subkultur, die den Designern als Inspirationsquelle dient. Zunächst soll untersucht werden, in welchem Umfang auf dem thailändischen Binnenmarkt Modefirmen sowie Einkaufsmöglichkeiten für eine Modeszene existieren. Seit über dreißig Jahren ist die Bekleidungsfirma LME1 in Thailand auf dem Markt. Sie hat neben eigenen Marken ebenso für internationale Firmen wie Guess oder die japanische Marke HusHusH der Modefirma World produziert. Die hauseigenen Marken wie z. B. Espada, ESP, LTD, Rock Press, EP, etc.

PAGE 6 SECTION II SITE LAUNCHES FOOTWEAR Nasty Gal’s Trajectory: From E-tailer to Brand By RACHEL STRUGATZ NEW YORK — Nasty Gal is growing up. The company will today launch its own line of footwear, Shoe Cult, and is also eyeing intimates WWD and swimwear for next year. The e-commerce pure- play is even beginning to contemplate real-world retail outposts. MONDAY, AUGUST 19, 2013 Q WOMEN’S WEAR DAILY Q $3.00 “Exclusivity is important for me,” said Sophia Amoruso, the 29-year-old cofounder, chief executive officer and creative director of Nasty Gal. “Our con- sumer knows it’s the only place they can get this. The modern girl is less concerned with everything being a brand name. The stuff we’re designing has better sell-through [than third-party designers], but we will always continue to carry other designers. This is just the sprinkling on top.” If Nasty Gal continues to thrive and executes on its ambitious plans, the five-year-old company could become one of the first online pure-plays to transcend its roots and become a fully developed fashion brand for a new age. It’s unclear exactly how big the firm has grown. Some industry sources estimate revenues this year will reach $115 million, while others have the compa- ny’s top line headed to more than $300 million. Nasty Gal received a $9 million Series A round of funding in March 2012, followed by a $40 million Series B just five months later.
